This was my first Worldpackers experience and it couldn't have been better. Chizuru is one of the nicest and calmest persons I know, and Ryo is an incredible chef and incredibly nice too. Takamatsu is an amazing city to explore and the work hours are simple and respected, I would come back anytime if I had the opportunity! Thank you so much for everything!

I had an amazing experience at the hostel! It was my first worldpackers and it was a great first impression. I feel like the bar is going to be high for the next one. The staff are all super nice and social. This place truly feels so alive and warm. I spent one month and a half at the hostel and only after this small amount of time it feels like a second home. One of the great things about this place is the chef. He makes amazing food and is always happy to receive some help from the volunteers. Such an interesting and fun person. I felt immediately included in the team and the work is as described.

We had a great time volunteering at the hostel. The tasks are easy: cleaning rooms, common areas, and making beds. You usually meet lots of other volunteers, which makes it fun. The hotel staff are lovely, and you get the chance to practise and learn Japanese with them. We stayed for 19 days, and it felt too short because we had such a good time. The hostel is very well connected and there are many interesting places to visit nearby. They always try to give you several days off together, which allows you to travel. We will always be very grateful for the treatment we received. 💘
